Accademia Carrara

Fodor's Review

Bergamo is home to an art collection that's surprisingly rewarding given its size and remote location. Many of the Venetian masters are represented—Mantegna, Bellini, Carpaccio (circa 1460–1525/26), Tiepolo (1727–1804), Francesco Guardi (1712–93), Canaletto (1697–1768)—as well as Botticelli (1445–1510). The museum is undergoing remodeling through at least the end of 2014, but a selection of works can be seen at Palazzo della Regione in Piazza Vecchia, Bergamo

Fodorite Reviews

One of Italy’s most important art galleries, it was founded by a scholar and collector named Count Giacomo Carrara (1714-1796). The collection is home to renowned masterpieces of art: works by Sandro Botticelli, Raphael, Titian, Mantegna, Giovanni Bellini, Vincenzo Foppa, Pisanello, and major artists working in Bergamo (Lorenzo Lotto, Giovan Battista Moroni, Fra’ Galgario and Piccio).
